Does your Vagina Smell?

Then this is the perfect podcast. Every 10 minutes you’ll hear a commercial about what to do about your stench trench. Don’t have a vagina, do worry, you’ll know what to do if you ever run across one. Also, the podcast is great. 4 stars due to the complete lack of awareness of who might be listening, 50% of us don’t have a smelly box.
Idk what to put here

An opportunity to over precisely pronounce the Latino first name "Oscar" (oss-KAR) and instead went with "awsk-er" damn
Vanessa Richardson is amazing.

I love this show and find listening to Vanessa to be a real joy. Many voices on podcasts really grate on my nerves but her voice is soothing and perfect. Got a subscription to Crime House just to listen to her commercial-free!
